Lego Minecraft is Coming

It has just been announced. Minecraft Lego is coming.

The whole episode began several months ago through the worldwide beta program of Lego Cuuso. Several inventive Minecraft and Lego fans uploaded builds and concepts of what Lego Minecraft would look like. The result was a flurry of internet activity within the Lego and Minecraft communities that resulted in the projects quickly reaching 10,000 votes - the requirement that Lego Cuuso has to consider the proposal and put it through a review process.

Since achieving the 10,000 votes, there has been a range of media reports where Mojang have come forward excavated about the idea and suggesting discussions with Lego were underway.

On 24 January, Lego Cuuso put this announcement on their blog:

Happy New Year! Since the Minecraft™ project reached 10,000 supporters on LEGO® CUUSOO, many of you have been eagerly awaiting our update. Until now, the project has been in the LEGO Review—a stage before product development begins where a LEGO Jury evaluates the idea’s feasibility as a product and makes a decision.

We're happy to announce that the Minecraft project on LEGO CUUSOO has passed the LEGO review and we are now developing a concept that celebrates the best aspects of building with the LEGO system and in Minecraft. We can’t wait to show it to you—but it isn't ready just yet. These things take time, so we appreciate your patience. More details are to come.

So, it looks like at some point in the future you'll have to go mining at your local toystore and have the ability to bring your virtual designs and mine craft activity to the world beyond the screen. There will be plenty who are excited by this news.
